When the iPhone was launched, SJ touted the advantages of running Web based apps in Mobile Safari. Then, whrn iPhone OS 2.0 came out there was an SDK. Google. Voice is pribably a good, yet limited, alternative to a native app, but since it can't access some core functionality of the iPhone, it's always going to be limited. I don't like AT&T either, so I've chosen to Jailbreak and unlock to T-Mobile and use GV Mobile for visual voice mail. It works great. This is nothing new.

It works the same way on my Android phone and works great. Now, unlike on the iPhone, Skype is available for Android phones, and offers the same general IP telephony capabilities. But, it doesn't offer the same level of integration with Gmail/contacts, SMS and the Android platform, nor does it allow for linking with land line and cell phone numbers for call forwarding and simultaneous ringing like Gvoice does. Great tip. Thanks. News I can use! It works the same way on my Android phone and works great.
